Skaters pull themselves along the pole until they meet

Reference no: EM13660234

Two skaters, one with mass 69 kg and the other by mass 39 kg, stand on an ice rink holding a pole of length 12 m and negligible mass. Starting from the ends of the pole, the skaters pull themselves along the pole until they meet. How far does the 39 kg skater move?

What is the spring constant of the spring : A 0.66-kg metal sphere oscillates at the end of a vertical spring. As the spring stretches from0.14 to 0.25 m ( relative to its unstrained length), the speed of the sphere decreases from 6.15 to 4.55 m/s. What is the spring constant of the spring?

What is the period of the physical pendulum : A pendulum is constructed from a thin, rigid, and uniform rod with a small sphere attached to the end opposite the pivot. This arrangement is a good approximation to a simple pendulum (period =3.72 s), because the mass of the sphere (lead) is much gr..
